Bringing awareness to issues (even through memes) is a good way to get people who are capable of fighting in on the fight.
What also tends to happen though is that when an issue gets popular, some people jump on the bandwagon for the dopamine hit that comes from the attention they get when they make content about the issue. Hell, even when they don’t make it. I’ve seen stickied comments on clips of popular music videos (just one ridiculous example) posted by fans where they’re saying shit like, “Oh my god guys! Thank you so much for all the likes and comments! I didn’t expect this to be so big!” Ummm, it’s a Beatles clip my guy. You didn’t do anything but reupload a bit of it in short form. You out here acting like you just a member of the band caught off guard by how many people like you.
I always have to be a dick and ask, “Oh, you made this?”
1/3 will do nothing but sit and watch while the other 1/3 kills the remaining 1/3 and that do-nothing-1/3 will call you a tankie and fight you if you try to do anything.
The real reason the 2A exists and continues as-is: it lets those elites in control rile up the stupid masses (that they keep that way) to literally murder the people trying to fix how fucked up shit has become
that may have been the intention but it’s now weaker and more ineffectual than using an umbrella instead of a parachute; times have changed and provisions from literally hundreds of years ago do nothing
I agree, but it’s also worth noting the influence of police forces, riot police, swat teams, and the national guard.
The US basically has an occupying army to quell unrest in every county across the country, so it’s harder to properly protest without state retaliation. Not to say we shouldn’t do it, but I can understand people’s reticence.
Oh so I’m guessing it did come out he was doing it for Trump? Because the one who did it in protest of the our support of Israel was looked at as a kind of a hero here.
The reporting I’ve seen was that he had been hanging around the courthouse for a few days and was obviously mentally unwell but he essentially thinks Biden and Trump are working together to establish a fascist state and it all heavily involves Peter Thiel. I didn’t read it but someone made a word cloud of his pamphlet and it was all over the place and even involved conspiracy theories of yore that have been supplanted by QAnon and vaccine stuff.
I wish we had a small percent of what France does for its consumer rights in the United States.
That’s because we don’t set shit on fire every time the government looks at us wrong.
Perhaps it’s time to change that
Impossible when 30% of the country is addicted to a 100% propaganda channel
if that 30% were able to do so much damage, the other 70% can do even more.
The other 70% consider political activism posting memes on places like this.

If our representative govt represented us, maybe…but it doesnt, so we wont.
thats why we actually gotta do shit
What’s great about this comment is that every side can say it about the other!

If only they had a right to an armed militia ha ha ha ha ha
Fr. Leftists need to exercise their second amendment rights way more.
Plenty do. There just needs to be more organization.
You’re right. We have idiots setting themselves on fire in front of courthouses instead.

So, I guess bipartisan?
He threw conspiracy theory pamphlets in the air beforehand, so safe bet it was for Trump.
And vote for the wrong people
That’s why the French protest all the time. They fight for their rights.
To… Party?
He says rights plural, so it must be parties plural.

I think it’s lobbying. The US market is so big it pays off to lobby hard.
